Re: The Frynasty Tipping Point
I find the best way to insure longevity is to not play every single time you have a chance to. I play only 2-3 games per week and the game never becomes stale. Use the days in between on roster management and recruiting. Each game needs to be a big event, just like real life. Part of what makes real life football great is the fact you have to wait so long for a game. The anticipation is huge.
Also prolonging off-seasons makes a difference. I usually spread my off-season over a 1 1/2 to 2 week period. Sure, I only end up with 7-8 years of a dynasty, but I end up playing the game year around.
Recruiting restrictions are also a must as is playing with a team that requires you to build them up. What fun is it starting a dynasty and winning 10 games in year 1? I like my dynasty to feel like I am building towards something; That's why I only play with schools like Duke, Vandy, Indiana, Northwestern, Baylor (currently), etc.
I had one of my finer year ones with my currenty Baylor dynasty going 8-5 but in year two after losing a bunch of players I fell to 4-8 and I loved it!
